.TH io_setcookie 3

.SH NAME
|
|
io_setcookie \- associate cookie with descriptor
|
|
.SH SYNTAX
|
|
.B #include <libowfat/io.h>
|
|
|
|
void \fBio_setcookie\fP(int64 fd,void* cookie);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
io_setcookie associates a cookie (pointer to some anonymous data
|
|
structure) with this descriptor. Only one cookie can be associated with
|
|
a descriptor.
|
|
|
|
Use io_getcookie(3) to retrieve the cookie for a descriptor (usually
|
|
after io_canread or io_canwrite brought it to your attention).
|
|
|
|
Please note that io_close does not deallocate your cookie. You need to
|
|
do that yourself.
|
|
|
|
The idea is that you put the state associated with a TCP connection you
|
|
serve in a common struct. Then you do not need to have your own data
|
|
structure to retrieve the state for a connection, you can just use the
|
|
data structure io_wait already maintains. The lookup works in constant
|
|
time and should not cause any cache misses.
